Adult ADD...some questions:

I feel as though I am going crazy. I have so much on my mind and I am going in about 50 different directions at once. I have all these ideas but cannot focus on anything!
Tell me, how were you diagnosed, what does it feel like? What are your symptoms?
Are you taking medicine? Is it helping?

I have some answers but, would rather not post everything here. I answered your other question (I think you're the same person, anyway :) But, pm if you'd like I'm going to bed soon but should be online tomorrow.

There are many therapists who work with people who have ADD/ADHD; they teach them not just coping skills, but how to use ADD/ADHD as an advantage in their lives. Thom Hartmann has written extensively on this topic; you should be able to find his books art your local library, there is lots of information at his website: http://www.thomhartmann.com/category/thom/adhd-education/
